The parties submit that good cause exists for the following reasons.
1. The Scheduling Order was initially issued on June 21, 2017, and modified pursuant to the parties' joint request on February 14, 2018. The currently requested extensions are for discovery cut-off dates only and do not delay the dates for filing dispositive motions, or for the pretrial conference and trial.
2. The parties are actively engaged in settlement negotiations and wish to attempt a resolution of this matter before incurring further expense of discovery.
3. The parties have propounded written discovery and have conferred regarding the setting of depositions. The parties have agreed on the following discovery plan, subject to the Court's granting their joint request to modify the schedule:
• April 3, 2018 — Defendant's Responses to Plaintiffs' Written Discovery due.
• April 15, 2018 — Plaintiff's Responses to Defendants' Written Discovery due.
• Depositions may be conducted at any time pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Civil Local Rules, or by mutual agreement.
7. The parties respectfully request that the Court approve this stipulation and incorporate its terms in an Order.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED. The Court is unlikely to grant any further requests for continuance.
